Simple 5V Regulated Power Supply Circuit Diagram


5V Regulated Power Supply Circuit Diagram is a small +5V power supply, which is useful when experimenting with digital electronics. Small inexpensive wall tranformers with variable output voltage are available from any electronics shop and supermarket. Those transformers are easily available, but usually their voltage regulation is very poor, which makes then not very usable for digital circuit experimenter unless a better regulation can be achieved in some way.

The following circuit is the answer to the problem. This circuit can give +5V output at about 150 mA current, but it can be increased to 1 A when good cooling is added to 7805 regulator chip. The circuit has overload and thermal protection. The capacitors must have enough high voltage rating to safely handle the input voltage feed to circuit. The circuit is very easy to build for example into a piece of veroboard.

 5V Regulated Power Supply Circuit Diagram
Parts:

C1 = 100uF-25V electrolytic capacitor, at least 25V voltage rating
C2 = 10uF-25V electrolytic capacitor, at least 6-16V voltage rating
C3 = 100nF-63V ceramic or polyester capacitor
IC = 7805 regulator IC

IC's Pinout :
  1. Unregulated voltage in
  2. Ground (See Diagram)
  3. Regulated voltage out

Circuit features:
  • Gives out well regulated +5V output, output current capability of 100 mA
  • Built-in overheating protection shuts down output when regulator IC gets too hot
  • Very simple and easy to build
  • Very stable +5V output voltage, reliable operation
  • Easy to get components, uses only very common basic components
  • Based on datasheet example circuit, I have used this circuit succesfully as part of many electronics projects
  • Part of electronics devices, small laboratory power supply
  • Wide range of input unreglated DC 8-24V power supply
  • Few dollars for the electronics components + the input transformer cost

Modification Iideas

More output current:

If you need more than 150 mA of output current, you can update the output current up to 1A doing the following modifications.
  • Change the transformer from where you take the power to the circuit to a model which can give as much current as you need from output
  • Put a heatsink to the 7805 regulator (so big that it does not overheat because of the extra losses in the regulator)

More output voltages:

If you need other voltages than +5V, you can modify the circuit by replacing the 7805 chips with another regulator with different output voltage from regulator 78xx chip family. The last numbers in the the chip code tells the output voltage. Remember that the input voltage muts be at least 3V greater than regulator output voltage ot otherwise the regulator does not work well.

3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram using TL084

This is the schematic diagram of 3 channels audio splitter amplifier circuit which built using op-amp IC TL084. The 3 channels amplifier output distribution applies a single TL084.   3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram The very first step is to capacitive coupling having a p. 1.0 ~ electrolytic capacitor. The entries are railways Vee Y2 or 4.5 V. This enables working with an individual 9V power source. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M?/100 Kohm) is obtained in the first stage, as well as the other three floors are connected as a unity gain voltage followers. Every single output stage drives independently through an amplifier output 50 pF capacitor towards the resistance of 5.1 k ohm load. The response range is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.

Simple But Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch

This circuit will automatically switch on several mains-powered "slave" loads when a "master" load is turned on. For example, it will switch on the amplifier and CD player in a stereo system when the receiver is turned on. It works by sensing the current draw of the "master" device through a low value high wattage resistor using a comparator. The output of that comparator then switches on the "slave" relay. The circuit can be built into a power bar, extension cord or power center to provide a convenient set of "smart" outlets that switch on when the master appliance is powered (turn on the computer monitor and the computer, printer and other peripherals come on as well). Automatic Load Sensing Power Switch Circuit Diagram Parts List: Notes: This circuit is designed for 120V operation. For 240V operation, resistors R2 and R6 will need to be changed. A maximum of 5A can be used as the master unless the wattage of R1 is increased S1 provid...

RF amplifier protection

RF amplifier protection I have developed the protection circuit for the EB104 amplifier I am working on, after I finally had some time to design and test a few models. The main requirements have been: - protection in case of high temperature; - protection in case of high SWR; - protection in case of wrong output filter selection; - simple design (i’m a fan of the whole K.I.S.S. rule of thought), able to work in strong electromagnetic fields, reliable, inexpensive. Because i will be using the same directional coupler i have used in the SWR meter (the one made on PCB) wich is directly influenced by the signal frequency, and because i want full HF coverage, i cannot just measure the reflected signal and make a circuit cut the amplifier when it goes over a limit; on 28Mhz the coupler generates roughly 4 times more voltage that let’s say in 7Mhz. So a system that compares direct and reflected signal and triggers when the latter is percentually too high was needed, therefore an operational a...
